Bear in mind that while the main home is a private space, the laundry room and pool are shared amenities with guests staying in the nearby detached and private guesthouse suite. However, our past guests who have stayed in the main home have told us they rarely notice the guests from the guesthouse, as most people are kind fellow travelers who tend to respect each other's privacy and often use the shared spaces infrequently. In fact, we often hear how nice it was to have friendly neighborly travelers!

The home's prime location makes it a perfect choice for various travelers. Horse lovers will be thrilled to find the World Equestrian Center a short drive away, ensuring easy access to equestrian events, shows, and competitions.
